Lyrics

When I was young, I'd listen to the radio

Waiting for my favorite songs

When they played, I'd sing along

It made me smile

Magic moments

When two hearts are caring

Magic moments

Memories we've been sharing

I'll never forget the moment we kissed the night of the hay ride

I wish you forget that you ever heard me sing of the sleigh ride

Sing

Sing a song

Make it simple to last your whole life long

Don't worry that it's not good enough

For anyone else to hear

Just sing, sing a song

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Never let it fade away

Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket

Save it for a rainy day

For love may come and tap you on the shoulder

Some starless night

And just in case you feel you wanna hold her

You'll have a pocketful of starlight

Why do birds suddenly appear

Every time you are near?

Just like me, they long to be

Close to you

On the day that you were born, the angels got together

And decided to create a dream come true

So they sprinkled moon light in your hair of gold

And starlight in your eyes of blue

It's impossible

Tell the sun to leave the sky

It's just impossible

It's impossible

Ask a baby not to cry

It's just impossible

And tomorrow

Should you ask me for the world, somehow I'd get it

I would sell my very soul and not I'll regret it

For to live without your love, it's just impossible

Sharing horizons that are new to us

Watching the signs along the way

Talking it over, just the two of us

Working together day to day

Together

And when the evening comes, we smile

So much of life ahead

We'll find a place where there's room to grow

And yes, we've just begun

We've only just begun

And yes I know how lonely life can be

The shadows follow me

And the night won't set me free

But I don't let the evening get me down

Now that you're around me

Don't let the stars get in your eyes

Don't let the moon break your heart

(Don't let the moon break your heart)

Love blooms at night in daylight, it dies

Don't let the stars get in your eyes

Don't keep your heart from me, for some day I'll return

And you know you're the only one I'll ever love (He'll ever love)

I'll ever love

Every sha-la-la-la, every oh-oh-oh-oh

Still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing

So fine

All my best memories come back clearly to me

Some can even make me cry

Just like before

It's yesterday once more

'Til the end of time

It's yesterday once more

No other love have I

We've only just begun
